hile is a
privileged country, with a geography full of contrasts,
quite unique in the world, due, mainly, to its situation
along the majestic Andes range which runs all the length
of the country from |
North to South. Chile has 10% of all the volcanoes of the world,
most of which are active.
North Zone:
In the Second Region of Chile, in San Pedro de Atacama, there
are a number of peaks of the Andes and there are other quite
unknown ones like mount Quimal in the Domeyko range, where active
volcanoes can be climbed, such as the Lascar, the most active
volcano in Chile.
This area has a privileged climate during most of the year and
there is also the possibility of getting to the base of the
summits at a high altitude, which makes this region one of the
most attractive places of the world for trekking and mountaineering.
The summits we are offering are an excellent sequence both for
the organism to get accustomed to altitude as to understand
the importance these summits had for the Prehispanic people,
as they were used as ceremonial altars, marked by the solstices
that forecasted periods of fertility of their animals and their
crops. You will also be able to see, from these heights, majestic
sights of salt flats, oasis, transversal ranges , such as that
of the Salt or the Tatio Sur Volcano, the internationally well
known geothermal field of El Tatio.
Here is a list of the summits we offer:
- Quimal / 4.350 msn
- Lascar / 5.592 msn
- Toco / 5.614 msn
- Tatio Sur / 5.208 msm
- Licancabur / 5.960 msn
- Sairecabur / 6.040 msn
South Zone:
From the IX to the X region in Chile, there are any number
of summits in the Andes, that give you the opportunity of
climbing active volcanoes like the Villarrica, the second
most active in Chile.
It is possible to ascend these volcanoes both in summer and
in winter, which offers a completely different view of the
surrounding landscape. In winter due to the great amount of
snow it is possible to combine this ascent with winter sports
like skiing. This part of Chile is one of the most attractive
places in the world for trekking, hiking, skiing and mountaineering.
The summits we are offering are an excellent sequence both
for the organism to get accustomed to altitude as to understand
the importance these summits had for the Prehispanic people,
as they were used as ceremonial altars, marked by the solstices
that forecasted periods of fertility of their animals and
their crops. You will also be able to see, from these summits
you will be able to see majestic sights of lakes, virgin forests
and incandescent craters with lava.
Here is a list of the summits we offer:
- Villarrica / 2.840 msn
- Lanin / 3.747 msn
- Llaima / 3.125 msn
- Lonquimay /2.865 msn
- Tolhuaca / 2,806 msn
- Sierra nevada / 2.554 msn
*These programs are prepared to be
combined with our overlands of the Altiplano and the Araucanía
and not simply as independent ascensions, always as a private
journeys.
